City Manager Wolff recommended that since only one bid was received that the bid be rejected.
Mr. Wolff asked the Council to consider the facts that he had developed over the past week.
He stated that in talking to tank manufacturers he found that a phone callprice of a,tank
of this size, brand new, erected and galvanized would'be`$14,000.00. Consi#ring-the 'work
that would have to be done on the old tank, we could take the alternate bid of Mr. Gilbert
of $8,000.00 and put another $2,000.00 with it for painting and blasting and would,come very�'r",,,
near the cost of a new galvanized water tank. Mr. Wolff advised the Council that he had
requested the presence of two men familiar with erection of water tanks to be present at thel-----°
meeting so the Council could hear their opinions,if it was the desire of the Council.
It was moved by Councilman McComb, seconded by Councilman Frank that Mr. Mack Gilbert and
Mr. Edwards be permitted to address the Council and state their opinions. Motion passed
5to0.
Mr. Gilbert recommended that the City Council go to 6 new tank. Mr. Gilbert made the offer
57.
to take the old tank steel and erect a new galvanized tank for $12,500.00.
Mr. Edwards recommended that the old tank not be used unless it could be pickled and re -
galvanized since the felt the oil taste could not be removed unless this was done. After this
he felt the tank would not last over 5 years,, therefore, he.felt the City would be better
off to install a new tank.
Mr. Wolff stated that he fent that we could recover through sale or trade, approximately
000.00 on the old tank.
It was moved by Councilman McComb, seconded by Councilman Griffin that Bid No. 72-3 be
